EIS Team Science Meeting Agenda#

18th March

This page refers to one day of a closed meeting of the EIS consortium

Table of Contents


1 Technical#

1.1 Report from Technical Splinter Meeting (previous day)#

  • 09:00 (Khalid Al-Janabi)

1.2 Analysis Software#

1.2.1 Status of the reduction package#

  • 10:00 EIS_PREP (Alessandro Gardini)

1.2.2 Useful additional software#

(With descriptions or demonstrations)
  • 10:15 Gaussian fitting routines for EIS (Peter Young)
  • 10:35 A quick display method (David Williams)

Coffee#

10:40 to 11:00

1.3 Choosing data#

  • 11:00 Discussion on Data access
There are huge volumes of EIS data, but it would be good to have a discussion on how to go about accessing the kind of data you're looking for.


2 Science#

2.1 EIS Science Achievements#

Each national PI will give their perspective on the scientific achievements of EIS in its first 2.5 years. These are personal perspectives on where we stand on two things:
  1. phenomena and scientific issues that were known before launch
  2. the discoveries Hinode has made with EIS
( they won't necessarily agree :-) )
  • 11:30 Tetsuya Watanabe
  • 11:50 Louise Harra
  • 12:10 George Doschek

Lunch#

12:30 to 13:30

2.2 EIS Science Results#

Talks should put special emphasis on unsolved components in the context of what they talk about, and how they can be addressed using all three instruments on Hinode.

15 minutes per presentation is the guideline until I know how many talks there will be.
(Hint: I’m leaving ISAS next week(!), so please get me your title before evening JST on Thursday 5th March, or you might not get a fair slot.)

2.2.1 Active Regions#

  • 13:30 Cambridge active region studies (Helen Mason)
  • 13:50 The thermal structure of active regions (Harry Warren)
  • 14:10 Multi-component active region flows (Paul Bryans)

2.2.2 Flares#

  • 14:30 Evaporated Plasma (Ryan Milligan)

2.3 Analysis Techniques#

  • 14:50 Line identifications with EIS and CHIANTI (Peter Young)

Afternoon Tea#

15:10 to 15:40

2.3 Analysis Techniques (continued)#

  • 15:40 Diagnostics with the slot (Ignacio Ugarte)

2.4 Observing Techniques & Strategies#

What we’ve learned to date on observing with the S-band antenna
  • 16:00 Some techniques for observing (David Williams)
    • Problems
    • Some examples of studies that have proven useful in overcoming these problems
    • Prospects & challenges for the future:
  • How do we address observing challenging targets like flares?
    • 16:15 Flares (Ryan Milligan)
    • 16:35 Very active regions (Harry Warren / John Mariska)
  • 16:55 Observation Planning - Core Team proposals and HOPS (Len Culhane)


3 Communicating with the Outside World#

17:10 Since no presentations were contributed for this section, we may wish to have a short discussion.

3.1 The immediate and wider science community#

3.1.1 EIS Website & Wiki#

These are our public face for information. It would be good to talk about:

  • Changes made since last year
  • How to increase participation
  • Good practice
    • Keeping the contents up-to-date
  • New types of content

3.2 Beyond the professional science community#

Public outreach efforts and ideas Presentations solicited!
